How did the cense bureau come to this conclusion? Is it based on asking EVERY American? If it’s that then they skipped my family completely including my kids who are married with children as well as numerous friends and their families. It may be the case that there is more people without insurance but the numbers may be off. I’m not sure I believe that report.
